Who else had one of these bad boys? It allowed everyone from a 5 year old to grandma to throw a spiral. They went pretty far too. Not out of the stadium like the commercial led you to believe but still pretty far.

Those things were incredible! Made every 8 year old look like an all pro.

I used to have a glow in the dark ball that would last a month or so.

I threw one about 100 yards at the beach once and nearly tore a ligament in my elbow

Just one? My brother and I had like 7 or 8 of those things through the years. Those things were hell on my elbow for some reason, though. I guess because we all thought if John Elway can throw one 150 yards, surely we could throw one at least 100.
